Looking for ideas. I am building a role around kitchen cart for my wife. I got the plans from a copy of Woodworkers Journal magazine from October 12, 2012. Mine is slightly smaller than the original.
I want to build my own butcher block top and I would like to make it with a combination of light and dark wood. For the light wood I am thinking hard maple but I am at a loss as to what to use for the dark. This top will be about 22" x 30" or a bit smaller. Any suggestions?
Also what should I use for a finish? Keeping in mind that food will come in contact with this top. She will use is for making her home made bread among other things.
Thanks in advance for any help.
